The Comet (Al-Taareq)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);- 1 - Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! 2 The piercing star! 3 There is no soul but that it has over it a protector. 4 Let man consider what he was made of: 5 He is created from a water dripping, 6 Issuing from (the pelvis) between the backbone and the ribs. 7 Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)! 8 A day when the secrets will be examined. 9 He will have no strength or helper. 10 By the heaven which returneth, 11 And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants), 12 surely it is a decisive word; 13 And it is not a frivolity. 14 They (disbelievers) plot every evil plan, 15 But I too am devising a plan. 16 Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). 17
